How to Create a Shiny Metallic Typography

This is a tutorial to create a simple shiny metallic typography effect we usually see on hoardings and print advertisements published on art glazed paper.

This is a routine effect which I have stylized and created a modernistic style of typography. Designers can use it with almost anything which has a dark background, it doesn’t work on light backgrounds. Enjoy!
